Authentic Movement

Authentic Movement is a form of expressive movement therapy, developed by Mary Starks Whitehouse, that explores the relationship between the mover and the witness through movement and inner awareness. It involves a mover with eyes closed, guided by internal impulses, and a witness who observes and reflects on the experience without judgment. This practice aims to access unconscious material, foster self-awareness, and promote healing through embodied experience. Benefits of Authentic Movement: — Increased self-awareness and body awareness — Access to unconscious material and emotional expression — Cultivation of trust and non-judgmental relationships — Healing from past trauma and emotional blocks — Enhanced creativity and self-expression — Improved sense of well-being and connection to self — Increased capacity for presence and mindfulness In essence, Authentic Movement is a journey of self-discovery through embodied movement and compassionate witnessing. — Facilitator Xu Xiaoling Based in Hangzhou, China Former Architect Contact Improvisation Dancer｜Facilitator (since 2016) Butoh Dancer (since 2018) Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement Facilitator (since 2022) Authentic Movement Facilitator (since 2022) — Time August 28th 19:00–22:00 — Price 5000 ISK per person
